"I have never looked upon ease and happiness as
ends in themselves--such an ethical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty.
The ideals which have lighted my way,
and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully,
have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth."

~ Albert Einstein

"A human being is part of a whole,
called by us the "Universe,"
a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings,
as something separated from the rest--
a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us,
restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few persons nearest us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison
by widening our circles of compassion
to embrace all living creatures
and the whole of nature in its beauty."

Albert Einstein (1875-1955)
German-born American theoretical physicist,
theories of relativity, philosopher
 

"The most beautiful and most profound emotion
we can experience
is the sensation of the mystical.
It is the sower of all true science.
So to whom this emotion is a stranger,
who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe,
is as good as dead.
To know that which is impenetrable to us really exists,
manifesting itself as the highest wisdom
and the most radiant beauty
which our dull faculties can comprehend
only in their primitive forms
-this knowledge, this feeling
is at the center of true religiousness".

Albert Einstein (1875-1955)
